Tinkering on my science fantasy TTRPG continues! The only place to see the rules so far is my P*treon, where I just released 23 pages to all tiers. This update includes all the combat rules, even some rules for large scale combat
A strange group of adventurers with their war ostrich mount head toward a rickety bridge over a chasm over a verdant jungle. Two cybernetic gorillas lie in wait below for a potential ambush. In the background are the ruins of a domed futuristic city as two pterodactyls fly overhead. Heading: Prismatic Wasteland by W.F. Smith, Subhead: “Explore a World Hovering on the Edge of Time”

WIP cover for my Halloween project! I don't know if I'll make the deadline, but I'm happy with how this is looking. Still trying to decide if it's going to be a Borg hack or a Mark of the Odd game, but I'm leaning towards the latter.

A colorful depiction of disabled creators gathering against the background of the disability pride flag. They cheer and hold signs that read "Fix the System" and "Disabled & Proud!" The banner on the bottom corner of the image notifies of a Kickstarter campaign ending soon.

Here is a post, in its entirety, from Dwiz at KnightattheOpera, that makes a very important point about how D&D is asking you, begging you, to be played.

Update: World of Game Design (WOGD) is now refusing to pay me for the books they sold. Of the $3,158 in books they failed to return to me, they've only paid $637 — and they're refusing to pay the rest unless I first pay an outrageous and arbitrary $1,250 "close out" fee. 1/X

PSA: World of Game Design (WOGD) is unlawfully selling my books, please do not buy my stuff from them. They currently owe me an estimated thousands of dollars in unpaid consignment sales and have failed to return my full inventory after I gave them notice over 3 months ago. 1/3

5 "Rules" for Making Abilities for OSRy Games #1 Talents should be active Small, passive bonuses are easy to forget, boring, and lead to "builds." Instead, make abilities that players choose to use. To use their colossal strength, they have to hulk out. 🧵⤵️
